Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 4 named programs here.

The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Paying a marketing company for referrals is common in this field, so who answers the phone is not always who treats you. Ask for the daily schedule, because it is the most revealing single document.

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Ask what their position is on prescribed medication generally, because positions differ.
